hi!

I am using Fancy theme for ubercart. I want to have a flash header. Is it possible to have a flash header in drupal? I tried editing the style.css and

#header {
background: url('images/topbanner.swf') repeat-x;
margin:0;

But its not working.

Please advise.

Regards - Jo

I'm curious about this also, although my situation is a little different.

I had working flash header blocks in my dev sandbox (schr.mayfirst.org), and for some reason ever since I loaded the ubercart module, they are behaving unpredictably.

Namely, they are either positioned in a place other than next to the logo (schr.mayfirst.org/incarceration). Of they are simply showing a white box (with nothing in it). The odd part is that I have 2 blocks (the urls above) that are configured exactly the same, but are displaying differently...? The CSS is not the issue as it was working well before I added ubercart.

To my knowledge, the addition of Ubercart is the only variable that has changed.

To (maybe) answer the question above...try the flash-node module. You will need to configure a flash input type. To display it in the header block you would use the following type of code:

[flashnode|nid=38|scale=1|class=flash-left]

In this case, the nid would be the node number.

I don't think you can call a flash swf file from css. I know for certain that an swf file won't work properly if it's called as the background url.

I found this forum thread when i search hrough Drupal for soln to add flash header.
I tried adding in the backgrd in css too (btw i am using forest_floor theme) , n it does not work...
So what should I do instead? Use a module (Flash Node?)or do some modification in some php files?
How shld i go about doing so? Can someone provide the details? Thanks.
